Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof.

What do we call a scientific doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof?

Proof is acheived by mathematics, truth is argued by philosophy, a scientic theory is the explination and evidence for a observed fact. A scientific doctrine by defination does not exist. One term is of philosophy and the other is of science. The statement is of no use to anyone.
